Technology-M2, Inc. (“M2”) was established October 20, 2015 to acquire the assets of M2 Dynamics Inc. Edgewater and the Lender have agreed that each of Branchbird, Zero and M2 shall become parties to this Agreement and
co-borrowers under the Loan. 
 Lender has also agreed to increase the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment under the Loan Agreement to provide
additional funds for working capital and other business purposes of the Borrower.
